All Chapters of The Seduction Contract : Chapter 51 - Chapter 59

"First of all, we need to be very serious," Darlington said. His voice was loud and clear in the quiet room. "Everyone in this room needs to work harder than ever before. Because of the bad things that happened lately, the people who give us money—our investors—are getting scared. They are having second thoughts about our company. Our stocks are going down, and we are losing money." He slammed his hand on the table, and everyone jumped. "We cannot afford to fail. We cannot lose. So, there will be no more playing around in this office. Work is work. If I see anyone who is not being serious, I will fire you immediately. No second chances. Does anyone have a question?" The room was very still. Then, a girl with sharp eyes and curly hair stood up. Her name was Stella. She looked at Freya with a mean look on her face. "Sir, I have a question," Stella said. She tried to sound smart. "For the past year, you have said no to every new person who wanted a job. You hardly ever hire new wor

Freya walked out of Darlington’s big office and stood at the top of the stairs. She felt a little bit dizzy from everything that had just happened. She looked down at her hands and remembered she had to get coffee. "Oh no," she whispered to herself. "I forgot to ask him where the kitchen is. This building is so giant. Where do I find the coffee room? I don't want to go back inside and ask him because he is already grumpy." She started walking down the stairs, looking at all the doors. Just then, she saw Stella coming up the stairs. Stella looked like she was in a hurry. Freya decided to be nice, even though Stella had been mean in the meeting. "Excuse me," Freya said politely. She tried to give a small smile. "Could you please help me? Do you know where the room for the coffee is? Mr. Knight wants some right away." Stella stopped walking. She looked at Freya’s shoes, then her dress, and then her face. She looked at her with disgust, like she was looking at a piece of trash on

Freya was crying on the floor, feeling like her world was ending. But suddenly, the big door swung open. It was the Supervising Manager. His name was Lech. He stopped and stared at the floor. He saw the torn clothes. He saw the black marker. He saw Freya’s sad, wet eyes. "Stop this right now!" Lech shouted. His voice was loud like thunder. He rushed over and helped Freya get up from the cold floor. He stood in front of her to protect her. "What is going on in this room? Why are you hurting this girl?" Natalie stood up and tried to act like she was doing nothing wrong. She put her hands on her hips. "Oh, we are just welcoming her," Natalie said with a fake smile. "She is the new assistant secretary, and we wanted to show her how we do things here." "Welcoming her?" Lech asked. He was very, very angry. "You welcome her by writing mean words on her face with a pen? You welcome her by tearing her clothes? This is not a welcome! This is being a bully!" He stepped closer to Natalie. "Yo

Darlington pulled Freya even closer to his body. Her soft breasts pressed hard against his strong chest. He could feel her heartbeat — fast and excited — through her thin shirt. He looked deep into her eyes for one second. Then he leaned in and kissed her with full passion. His lips covered hers completely. His tongue went inside her mouth slowly at first, then deeper and faster. They kissed like they could not stop. Their breaths mixed together. His hands held her face gently while the kiss grew wilder and hotter. After a long minute, he pulled back just a little. His lips were still very close to hers. He whispered in a low, rough voice, “Do you want this, Freya?” She looked up at him. Her cheeks were red. Her breathing was quick. Softly, she answered, “Yes.” They started kissing again right away. This time even more hungry. His hands moved down her back. He pressed her body tighter against him. She could feel how hard he was — his excitement pushing against her stomach. The kiss

Freya shook her head. She said quietly to herself, “Well, anyway, that’s not important right now.” She pushed the thoughts about Natalie away. She needed to find the missing file. She kept searching everywhere in the office.She looked up at the big clock on the wall. The time was moving fast. She realized she did not have much time left. Kelvin would come soon. She felt tired. After searching every shelf, every cabinet, and every corner, she sat down in Darlington’s big chair to rest for a moment. Her eyes moved around the room again.Then something caught her attention. The clock on the wall looked strange. It was not straight. It hung a little crooked. She stood up slowly. She walked closer to the wall. She reached up and touched the clock. Carefully, she turned it anti-clockwise — to the left.Suddenly, a loud click sound came from the wall. A big hidden box slid out from behind the clock. The box was metal and shiny. A soft electronic voice spoke from inside it. “Mr. Knight, plea
